For some single people, Valentine’s Day is a day to be depressed about being single. For me, it’s Brewlywed Day at the Samuel Adams brewery in Jamaica Plain. Who wouldn’t want to get married in a brewery?

Well, that painful day is almost here. On June 18, Samuel Adams will release its Brewlywed Ale for one day, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Germania Street brewery.

Beginning at 7 a.m., people can line up at the brewery for an opportunity to buy a bottle of the Belgian bridal ale. The first 50 people in line will be able to buy a bottle signed by Jim Koch. The first 20 people to show up in full wedding outfits will get moved to the front of the line, ensuring they will get a signed bottle of the beer.

The doors will open at 9 a.m. for sales of Brewlywed and a toast. Along with the beer, there will be food samples, pairing suggestions from local businesses and other wedding-type planning events. Samuel Adams will also donate wedding dresses to Brides Across America.

And, for those who want to seal the deal, there will be justice of the peace on hand to perform weddings (if you have a wedding permit, it’s an honest-to-goodness wedding). Those interested in tying the knot at the brewery should email brewlywed@samueladams.com.

And just remember, as all of you loving couples are celebrating Brewlywed Day, I’ll be all alone with Beatrice my beer fridge. Anyone want to get hitched, let me know.
